You are getting closer to a black hole, and here in deep space, no one can hear you scream... but what you want, what you really want, is for that alarm clock to stop ringing so you can stay just five more minutes in your cozy bed! Herocraft is proud to announce Kosmos Odysseus and His Robot Quest, a 2D point-and-click comedy adventure, where you play as ship engineer Kosmos, part of a crew in a voyage to a black hole deep in outer space. The first episode (out of 5) of Kosmos Odysseus and His Robot Quest will be released for Steam for $4.99 / €4.99 per episode, $14.99 / €14.99 the full game.

When Kosmos Odysseus and His Robot Quest starts, your shipmates are down on the surface of a planet where time moves far, far slower and you, along with your robot, have been waiting for years for them to return to your orbital station. The situation looks pretty bleak - but never lose heart! There is a host of scientific problems to solve, experiments to conduct, an enormous ship that only you can keep in working order, and a star system dominated by a black hole that hides incalculable secrets -- and turns out that they affect your ship in strange and unexpected ways... It looks like your future will be full of surprises!

I'm playing the demo. Looks like a good one. I try to wait until more than one episode of a game is available but if Episode 1 is long enough I won't be waiting. So far I've tried to use my rubber duck to fix everything from a door servo-motor to my interstellar telescope. In a flashback I've attempted unsuccessfully to alter the past by staying on my diet and thus ripping up the space-time continuum, which personally I would never have had the self-control to do anyway. My ship's computer has announced I'm not locked in when I am, and the developers have proved they are cleverer than I only once, which is a pretty low number for me now that I think about it. I like difficult games and being stumped. Still I have expectations that Odysseus Kosmos and I will be friends and sidekicks in the near future.
